Chat: Tarzan And the Tarzan Twins is made up of two Tarzan novellas written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author, for young readers. The children's books were originally published as The Tarzan Twins, and The Tarzan Twins With Jad-bal-ja The Golden Lion. The two stories were integrated into one book, in 1963 under the title of Tarzan And The Tarzan Twins, in the first complete edition.
Although the two stories were written about six months apart the related events occur in the same time frame. The opening passage of Tarzan And The Tarzan Twins With Jad-bal-ja The Golden Lion specifies that its events occur immediately after those of The Tarzan Twins.
The two parts of the Tarzan Twins occur between Tarzan And The Ant Men and Tarzan, Lord Of The Jungle chronologically. The first novella, The Tarzan Twins, was published between these two novels. The second novella, Tarzan And The Tarzan Twins With Jad-bal-ja The Golden Lion confirms their placement in approximately this period as it introduces a family that figures prominently in Tarzan And The Lost Empire, the next book after Tarzan Lord Of The Jungle. Here we are informed of Tarzan's first meeting with Doctor Karl von Harben, with whom the ape-man is already acquainted in Tarzan And The Lost Empire.
Because Tarzan And The Tarzan Twins is a children's book, however, it is customarily omitted from listings of the main Tarzan series. I have chosen to include it in my 1872 chronology for three reasons.
- It was written by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
- It can easily be dated within the Tarzan series.
- The characters Doctor Karl von Harben and young Muviro also appear in other books of the Tarzan series.
